Gender

[fantasien]

Then again I would feel more comfortable going to the mens room. Hate that it's an ugly real girl (who looks more like some sort of beast) who has a problem with a beautiful T girl using the girls bathroom and wish that there was just one big bathroom.

Hmmm. thats where i am to. why cant we just have one big group bathroom. I mean other colleges has coed locker rooms and bathrooms including showers and everything. So why do they have to be separated by gender or sex?

Because the majority of the people like to have separate bathrooms.



While I was in Paris I was extremely uncomfortable with their bathroom...whatever. We went to this one restaurant and a man came down the stairs (to the bathroom area where we were waiting) while he was unbuttoning his pants.

And the urinal he was using was not closed off. I about died.

It's pretty harsh on the minority of people who can't use either bathroom without being harassed, though.

I really don't mean this to come off bitchy or offensive (seriously), but this isn't a perfect world.

Some people are going to get offended, and if some of them are purposely trying to look different, then...I dunno. If one is trying to look like a guy or a girl, then they should be prepared to be treated as such.

The second people stop treating people on based on their gender someone else is going to be offended because they aren't being treated based on their gender.

It's impossible to make everyone happy.

I'm not talking about people who are purposely trying to look different, and I'm certainly not talking about people who are unhappy about getting treated as the gender they're trying to look like. (Wtf?) I'm talking about people who look enough unlike either gender that they aren't welcome in either bathroom. Either because they're in the middle of a transition, or because the transitioning treatments just haven't worked very well on them, or just because the only appearance they're comfortable with is somewhat in the middle gender-wise.

Just like you i don't mean to sound bitchy but this is because you're an uptight American.

I was raised in Europe and went back in my late teens. I'm used to bare breasts in stores selling bear. As Americans we are much happier with violence than we are with sex and it's daft. It isn't your fault it was how you were raised but it's still pointless. If i ever own my own business... unisex bathroom.

It's not just that i think that bathrooms should be integrated because of transgendered issues. I think that American's need to get over their ridiculous prudish behavior. I think this idea that so many people have about how everyone wants to see their no no bits is a leading factor in this "omg is that girl going to look at me in the bathroom?" crap.

I am right there with you dear! Join me!! And we will fight to the finish until we can accomplish bathroom intigration of the sexes.

And in several countries in living memory, there were separate toilets for different races, and people would be shocked if they had to share one with someone of the right sex but the wrong colour.

Just a thought to ponder.
